Nerdy reaction

• The consensus was that reliever Joel Peralta, above in his Alfalfa-inspired outfit with an assist from Chris Gimenez's extra-thick glasses, had the best look among for the "Ken Rosenthal/Nerd" themed trip. "I got the win," Peralta joked. Honorable mentions included TV man Todd Kalas, INF Elliot Johnson, LHP David Price.
